Knock at the Cabin
Knock at the Cabin (2023) - Rated 30 Sep 2024
A few missteps, and a lack of ambiguity held it back. But the premise and execution had my undivided attention. M Night continues to hit or miss, but I'm glad he does continue to hit every once in awhile.

Beasts of No Nation
Beasts of No Nation (2015) - Rated 02 Aug 2024
The movie does drag, and lacks narrative punch, but it is supremely effective at communicating its anti war themes. Lighter moments early in the movie are nowhere to be seen later, as innocence fades completely. Coming of age as a child soldier. The horrors of war, and the way war changes lives irrevocably, hit hard. Yet, there is some glimmer of hope at the end.
